History Roleplay / EndlessTime

%%* AbusiveParents - Kenneth Roymond has them, and it makes up a good deal of his character.
* AccidentalMurder - Salfira only meant to hold down Derek with his blow but ended up killing him.
* AlasPoorVillain - Kenneth, despite being a cold hearted criminal, had a pretty sympathetic death which caused much sadness.
* AMillionIsAStatistic - Perofe wiped out the surrounding area of Thereme's castle. At least the castle survived.

* AerithAndBob - In a world where names like Thereme and Narome are common, there are also a few common names like Derek or Kenneth.
* AllThereInTheManual - Being a forum roleplay, the main ideas of a lot of the characters would be lost to someone who hadn't read the character descriptions separate to the main story.
* AncientArtifact - Holding infinite power, ancient artifacts are understandably sought-after. Each one is hidden somewhere in the world with a guardian protecting it.

* AntiHero - Narome happens to be a type IV or a type V depending on your interpretation. You may also count him as a villain protagonist.

* AnywhereButTheirLips - Kea apologises to Narome for her reaction to him by kissing him on the cheek.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking - Darken asks Thereme for tips on finding the artifact in Jopo, how to contact him again once the task is accomplished and finally for some food.
* AxCrazy - To say that Kenneth has completely lost it would be an understatement.
* BerserkButton - Narome has two. Don't put pressure on his punctors, and ''don't threaten Kea.'' Though not exactly a BerserkButton, going too long without life energy will have the same effect as the first one.
%%* BewareTheNiceOnes - Exa.
%%* BigBad - Thereme.
* BigDamnHeroes - Narome and Mika showing up to rescue Kea.

* BloodFromTheMouth - The few moments leading up to the end of the fight between Drey and Vincent.
%%* BreakingSpeech- Darken gives one to Salfira and Mika about killing. It doesn't completely work.
* CatchPhrase - Drey Wilkins has "That's... convenient."
%%* CharacterDevelopment - Being an RP, this is basically one of the main purposes.
%%* ColdBloodedTorture - Happens to Kea when she is captured after admitting to having seen Narome.
%%* ConstructedWorld - Obviously.
* ConvenientComa - Kea Kassidee was in a coma as her author unfortunately had cancer for a long time. Eventually she got better, and so the character got better with her.
%%* {{Cloudcuckoolander}} - Ewyn is a major one.

* CurbstompBattle - The battle between Exa and Kenneth, which mostly consisted of Kenneth taking a lot of damage, and not being able to retaliate.
* DarkAndTroubledPast - Narome has been forced to murder to survive for a good deal of his life. Mika's lived many years with memories of the tragedy where his entire crew, save for him, died. Kenneth was abused by his parents and lived a tough life of crime. Thereme's parents were killed by political spies. Exa lived for years without her father and when she did meet him, he turned out to be a criminal who she drove away, causing everyone to turn against her. Drey had an abusive father.

%%* DeathFromAbove - How the Grahk vs. Darath war ends.
%%* DidntSeeThatComing - Fiddle killed Blade's family.
* DistressedDamsel - Kea gets recaptured quickly. (Thankfully this is short lived).
* DivergentCharacterEvolution - Assassins Drey Wilkins and Vincent Bodrovi start off as basically the same guy. As the RP goes on, Vincent is gradually given his own personality. And then he died.
* EnemyMine - Mika teams up with Darken, the guy who tore open a hole in his ship, captured his friend then attacked Mika when he came to get her back. Guess you have to do these things when a big dragon suddenly flies at you. Naturally, they can't even agree on how to deal with the dragon and ''still fight''.
* EvenEvilHasStandards - Exa is disgusted when she learns that Thereme killed off most of Sabolin to win the war, since she only kills people who she thinks deserve it(even if she tends to make these decisions quickly).
%%* EvilLaugh - Minoru, much to the benefit of the above character interpretation.

%%* EvilVersusEvil - The result of Kenneth and Exa crossing paths.

* FaceHeelTurn - Vincent turns on Drey when his logic gets the better of him. The resulting scenario is... bad.
* FakingTheDead - Minoru Akihiro fakes his own death to escape Lamont's forces.
* ForcedToWatch - Derek threatens to torture Kea to death in front of Mika shortly before his death.
* ForgetfulJones - The Mayor often falls under this trope, especially when it comes to remembering the name of his assistant.
* HeroesPreferSwords - Minoru Akihiro usually uses a sword.

* {{Homage}} - Mika Cadenza is the master of this trope, homaging Series/{{Star Trek The Next Generation}}, Series/{{Star Trek Voyager}} and VideoGame/{{Metroid Prime}}.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter - Alexis Lockswell might be this, considering that she thinks Thereme is a fair and just king.
* ImagineSpot - Ewyn has had a few of these. The most notable example may be when he imagines a Gundam fight.(Which Makes Sense In Context... sort of.)

%%* JerkWithAHeartOfGold - Narome, except slightly more extreme.
* KilledOffforReal - Varel Lingson is assassinated by Vincent Bodrovi.

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall - Quite a few of Ewyn's posts are this, or just breaking the fourth wall. May or may not make sense since Ewyn is a Cloud Cuckoo Lander.
%%* MadeOfEvil - Lamont is a classic example of this. He started out as a Type III AntiHero, but that didn't last too long.
%%* MadeOfExplodium - The UKS Defiant. Played to lethal extents in Mika's flashback.

%%* MercyKill - The end of the fight between Vincent and Drey.
* {{Mooks}} - Virtually every guard falls under this category. Even Kea took out a few of them no problem ''armed with only a hammer''.
* MurderIsTheBestSolution - Drey fits the bill. He considers nothing of killing thirteen different guards to keep his hiding place safe.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone - Narome after getting Kea captured by running away.

* MikeNelsonDestroyerOfWorlds - Atlantis the Bloodwater. He hasn't gotten very close, though...
* NearDeathExperience - Narome is nearly killed when a prison guard shoots him in the chest. Luckily, he survives via the combadge tucked into his gi. Narome leaves with newfound determination to put things right with Mika and Kea.
* NoOneShouldSurviveThat - Drey falls out of the airship at the end of his fight with Narome but through sheer luck, is able to swing to the other side of the ship on a rope.
* OnlySaneMan - Vincent is a minor example of this. While other people act wacky and strange he can only scratch his head and sigh. While he may not be a classic example, it does seem to fit.
* OmnicidalManiac - Atlantis the Bloodwater. Luckily for the rest of us, he's still working on it.
%%* PayEvilUntoEvil - Narome nearly shoots Drey in vengeful rage.
%%* PluckyComicRelief - Rivafiesh and The Mayor fit under this category.
* PrecisionFStrike - While not an actual F strike; Narome swears for the first time in the entire RP in outrage over Drey's rant about fighting for Darath.
%%* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld - Salfira and Roxciel.
* RetCon - Drey was inserted into the plot as having followed Narome until he was on the Ebon Hawk.

%%* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething - Minoru Akihiro counts, being the former king of Alia.
* SchizoTech - This apparently medieval universe also happens to contain SPACE TRAVEL, among other less major things like wheelchairs.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere - Mika's reaction to Darken's reaction to Mika resuming his attack on Aaron in defense of Darken. Sounds like a bit of a {{Mind Screw}}, doesn't it.
%%* SheIsNotMyGirlfriend - Narome barely misses saying this line.
%%* ShinyLookingSpaceships - The Defiant, Ebon Hawk, and Voyager.
* SirSwearsALot - Kenneth. He is meant to be a heavy swearer. If such language was allowed, his character would be swearing around the clock.

%%* {{SoleSurvivor}}/{{SurvivorGuilt}} - Mika. Twice. Once during a war, and the second after a routine mission.
* SinisterScythe - Atlantis the Bloodwater's scythe, Zetsubou, Japanese for "despair". He uses a summoning card to whip it out whenever he needs it, and when he does, expect heads to roll.
%%* SpitTake - Wild upon learning Narome is actually a vegetarian.
%%* SuperMode - Mika when he goes Hyper.
%%* TakeOverTheWorld - Thereme's goal.
%%* TheBigGuy - Jax is a class 2.
%%* TheDragon - Perofe.
%%** - Darken, too.
%%* TheMentor - Fiddle to Blade.
%%* TheseHandsHaveKilled - Mika as Aaron is dying.
* ThreateningShark - Atlantis's main ability is using black magic in the form of sharks. Whatever the sharks devour is obliterated.
%%* TokenGoodTeammate - Alexis Lockswell for Darath.
* TooDumbToLive - When Darath soldiers call Narome a monster, Kea screams at them. She then says she's seen him. The result? ''Getting brutally tortured in an attempt to find out where he is''.
* TranquilFury - Mika experiences this during Darken's {{Breaking Speech}} to which the latter refuses to take seriously.
* VillainProtagonist - Minoru Akihiro, but he only qualifies if you consider him The Hero and subscribe to his Alternate Character Interpretation. Otherwise, if you count every character as the protagonist of their own story, then any of the evil-aligned characters fit this.

* WellIntentionedExtremist - Darlan spends most of his time conning people into extremely dangerous experiments. He wants to make an invention that will eventually help the world, but his methods are decidedly questionable.
* WrongGenreSavvy - Alexis Lockswell seems to think that she's in a very idealistic story with Black and White Morality in which Darath is a heroic nation and the other nations are evil, and all necromancers and demons are evil. She's wrong.
* YouCantGoHomeAgain - Tragically so for Mika, who has been living in the nations for 7 years, since the Defiant could no longer travel in space.
* YouHaveFailedMe - Thereme's jester and interrogator/torturer are killed for not doing their jobs well.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness - Varel Lingson, killed off by his creator once his small side role was done.

* AbusiveParents - Kenneth Roymond has them, and it makes up a good deal of his character.

** It took a while but this ended up getting heavily subverted multiple times.

* BewareTheNiceOnes - Exa.
* BigBad - Thereme.

* ConstructedWorld - Obviously.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}} - Ewyn is a major one.
** The Mayor has a pretty serious case of this too, sometimes.

* DarkIsNotEvil - Despite Ewyn being a Dark Mage, he really isn't that bad of a person.

* DeathFromAbove - How the Grahk vs. Darath war ends.
* DidntSeeThatComing - Fiddle killed Blade's family.

* EverythingsEvenWorseWithSharks - Atlantis's main ability is using black magic in the form of sharks. Whatever the sharks devour is obliterated.
* EvilLaugh - Minoru, much to the benefit of the above character interpretation.
** Kenneth also has one, but it's more of an insane laugh than an evil one.
* EvilVersusEvil - The result of Kenneth and Exa crossing paths.
** With Thereme ruling Darath, and Lamont having freshly conquered Alia, it is very likely that the two will clash in the near future.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: Jax and Wild.

** Thereme has an unknown type.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold - Narome, except slightly more extreme.

* LawyerFriendlyCameo - [[Series/StarTrekVoyager The EMH]].
